It’s Your Responsibility To Sell

Last week I received a random phone call from a representative at GoDaddy. Of course, at first, I was annoyed that I even answered the call; thinking to myself what survey do they want me to answer.

He starts to tell me that our account with over 250 domains, is a rare occurrence; that most accounts have 3 or 4 domains.

He explains that since we have a large account we could save significant money by renewing all of our domains at once, instead of renewing them individually when they come up for renewal.

I start to pay attention.

It turns out, it’s not that great of savings. At least not worth it to me to pay more than $2,000 that day. I would prefer to pay more on a monthly basis. This also allows me to decide what domains to cancel and which to keep.

At this point, I start directing the conversation to the quickest path for me to get off the phone. I listened to his offer and now I am ready to get back to work.

However, he wasn’t ready for me to get off the phone yet. He cleverly responds with “Well, I do have another way for you to save just as much but still allow you to renew your domains individually, as you prefer doing.”

Damn. I was so close.

He continues to tell me about the GoDaddy Domain Club, which for just $90 a year, I could get the cheapest renewal price possible; regardless of if I renew 1 domain or 200 domains. The discount price is $5 cheaper than the full price. That means, I save money with just 20 domains. We have more than 10X that amount.

At this point, I have mixed feelings. 1) I can’t wait to join his club

2) I am excited to share with Scott that we’ll save more than $1,000 a year in domain renewals, for just $90
